Important objects of the inventionare to provide a vise of the typedescribed, in a manner as hereinafter referred. to, which will secure ascraper blade in a position to facilitate the sharpening thereof, whichis simple in its construction and arrangement, strong, durable andellicient in its use, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture. Withthe foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts herein? after described and cla1med, it--being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention ycanbey made without departing from the spirit of the invention. In thedrawing forming a part of this specification wherein like numerals ofreference designate corresponding parts throughout the several viewsFigure 1 is a top plan view' of a scraper blade vise in accordance withmy invention,

Fig. 2 is a front view thereof,

Fig. 3 is an end View of the device,

Fig. 4 is an end view of the shiftable jaw and associated guide block,and

Fig. 5 is an end View of a modified form of the vise attaching element.

Referring in detail to the drawing l denotes a comparatively heavy sheetmetal body portion consisting of an elongated fiat rearwardly sloped top2, provided at each end with an `integrally formed depending end wall 3and a rearwardly extending top extension 4. The lower edge of each ofthe end walls 3 is provided with a pair of spaced apertured ears 5,disposed laterally outward, and upon which the device rests whenpositioned for use and by which the device may be permanently lixed inposition if desired.

The

block 10 is positioned below the top 2 and vis formed with Va neck 11which extends through the slot 7. Y

A flat shiftable jaw 12 lis secured to the top of the block neck 11 bymeans of the screws 13, and a similar constructed fixed jaw 14 issecured, in alinement with the shiftable jaw 12, at one end of and onythe top 2, by means ofthe screws 15.

The forward ends of the jaws 12 and 14 are beveled as indicated at 16,and the innerv or opposed sidel edges thereof are provided 'withlongitudinally extending V-shaped grooves 17 forl the purpose ofaugmenting their engagement withl a scraper blade adapted toA be securedtherebetween as shown at 18.

When the body portion 1 is positioned on a level support the sloped top2 and the jaws 12 and 14 will secure the scraper blade in the mostsuitable Ainclined position to facilitate the sharpening operation byfiling with a hand file. The beveled edges 16 of the jaws 12 and 14 willprovidel clearance for such filing operation.

The body portion is secured against'movement on some suitable supporttherefor by means of a pair of clamp elements each of which consists ofan upper inclined portion 19, the vertical portion 20 and the horizontal portion 21. The portion 19 is formed* with, an elongated slot v22and overlaps the respective top extensions 4. A screw 23 ex 11eslewQaeemlfeftlle-seeev mtieneftlle- #easement Serew 8., fer lhe' tendsthrough the slot 22, and is threadably element is provided with a setscrew 2l which is adapted to engage the support upon which the device ismounted, and secure the latter against movement thereon.

The modified form of clamp element shown in Fig. 5, of the drawing isidentical in construction, relatively tothe preferred form, except thatthe horizontal portion 2i thereof is adapted to be permanently fixed tothe support 25 of the device by means of screws 26. Further the verticalportion of the modiizied form of clamp element is provided with a hinge27 whereby the device may be swung trom the operative position on thesupport 28. The modified form of clamp element is intended for use ifthe device is attached to a carpenters tool box, as the hinge 27 willpermit of it to be swung to walls, Vsaid body portion provided with arearwardly sloping top, the latter being formed with a longitudinallyextending slot disposed adjacent to'the front thereof, an

adjustment screw rotatably mounted in said I end walls and disposedparallel to and directly beneath said slot, a guide blockthreadedly'engaged by said screw and provided with a neck extendingupwardly through said slot, a shitable jaw detachably secured to saidneck and mounted on said top, a jaw ixedly mounted on said top, saidjaws disposed at an inclination on said sloped top and provided withbeveled lorward ends, the opposed side edges ot said jaws being formedwith longitudinally extending parallel disposed grooves, said topprovided at each end with a rearwardly disposed extension, and meansadjustably connected with said extensions for attaching said bodyportion to a support, substantially as described and for the purpose setforth.

In testimony whereof I aiiix my signature.
